WATCH “DEEP THROAT does the LAEMMLE” featuring Dr. Susan Block, Gerard Damiano, Jr., Christar Damiano, Nina Hartley & Herschel Savage +Excerpts from the original DEEP THROAT This year marks the golden anniversary of Deep Throat—the erotic, ironic, iconic 1972 movie that, for many, personified the Sexual Revolution in America. Deep Throat gave the world a taste of Porno Chic with a Big Gulp of Free Speech, followed by a bubbly chaser of U.S. politics mixed with presidential scandal, spiced with make-love-not-war fervor, spliced with sex-positive feminism and diced with pungent controversies; leaving a complex aftertaste that still lingers five decades later.

Featuring Dr. Susan Block, Gerard Damiano, Jr., Christar Damiano, Erin Tillman, Lux Lives, Amber Lynn, Veronica Hart, Max Lobkowicz & Rhiannon Aarons +Excerpts from the original DEEP THROAT Having broadcasted shows live from “The Deep Throat Sex Scandal” (the play by David Bertolino) and “Harry Reems Tribute” in 2013, and having been interviewed for the E! True Hollywood Story’s “Linda Lovelace” episode in 2000—AND having actually seen the movie in a theater circa 1978—I felt prepared. Little did I know how deeply we would go into the sometimes bizarre, controversial and culturally insurgent qualities of Deep Throat. The first LA screening was held at the venerable, old Laemmle Royal Theater in West LA, and the second at the kink-positive, new 910 WeHo Center in West Hollywood, owned and operated by the courageous and congenial Tom Hoffman.
